Transforming the 5G Network Edge: More Power, Performance and Intelligence

Today, we are on the cusp of a 5G-enabled world, filled with amazing new experiences such as connected cities, autonomous cars, virtual and augmented reality, and more, many of which will be discussed at Mobile World Congress 2017. We’re just beginning to experience the ways 5G will transform networks and business and improve our lives.

5G brings higher data bandwidth, faster speeds and lower latency – a trifecta of capabilities that will trigger innovations and business opportunities unlike anything we’ve experienced before. But to prepare for the massive amounts of data from billions of connected Internet of Things (IoT) devices, as well as meet new requirements for speed, latency, energy and scale, it’s critical that communications service providers (CoSPs) make fundamental changes in the networks, cloud and clients starting now. We’re seeing the start of this network transformation on a global scale with solutions based on software-defined network (SDN) and network functions virtualization (NFV) in order to deliver the promise of the 5G era.
